I went drag racing, broke into the 10's
Decided to go down to the good ole boy dragstrip out in BFE TN.
My fastest time was a 10.996 with a reaction of .397, I was consistently doing 11.1's the whole night though. Did about 6 runs.
Oh yeah.................. this was in my stock 94 R in the 1/8 mile
I almost beat a big 2500 cummings diesel truck, he got me by 6/10ths of a second.... almost

Ill trade you mine, straight up 
10 second 5.0 mustang.... wow.
The track I ran is apprantly suck-***. Going into second I would watch the tach go from 5300-5500 and stay at 5500 for what seemed like 1.5 seconds. Was worried my clutch was going out but a friend that watched me run said I was spinning, which is damn near unheard of with that car.
My car is 100% stock except for a FM front sway, 15x7s with 205 gforce sports. I took out some air pressure from the rear tires, which I later figured out that it hurt me more than helped, lol.
The closest 1/4 mile track is in Bristol, 2 hours away. I figure it would run mid 16s I suppose. Never drag raced before so..... who knows.

What is the altitude of your track?
If you had the stock 14" wheel and tire combo, you would go much faster. When my car was stock, I would pump all four tires to 45 psi to make the car roll easier. It works, and is easy to change in minutes. It is not like a stock Miata is so overpowered that the tires will spin out of control. However, with the tires that hard, it take a little bit of practice to launch properly.
Try adjusting the timing. I saw gains there as well.
Most stock miatas I have seen at sea level, go faster than 10.50's at 67-69 mph in the 1/8th. Take all of the **** out of the trunk you don't need.

My trunk was packed full of **** lol.
I had my tires at 25 psi
My timing is stock, probly won't change, probly won't drag race again honestly lol.
205/50/15 tires.... not sure about the altitude, no sea level since im in East Tenn. mountain range.
I had a friend told me he ran a 10.40 or something close in his stock R-package, but he had a hefty clutch.
